If you're lucky enough to be in Berlin on a sunny day in the fall, you can go to the Dahlia Festival in a lovely big park way to the south of the city center. Dahlias came to Germany about 200 years ago, when Alexander von Humbolt brought some back from Central America. Lots of different varieties with very descriptive names (pompoms, sea anemones, cactus-dahlia, etc.). Come in the spring and find tulips in these same beds.
